Spam King...
June 2008
Former ‘spam king’ must pay MySpace $6 million. A Colorado man has been ordered to pay $6 million in damages and legal fees for spamming thousands of MySpace.com users. The man, who was once accused of sending more than 100 million spam messages per day, was sued by MySpace in January 2007 in connection with an August 2006 campaign in which MySpace members were hit with unsolicited messages promoting a Web site called Consumerpromotionscenter.com. The messages were sent from phished MySpace accounts, according to the findings of the court-appointed arbitrator in the case. The messages were sent to a MySpace community that was ill-equipped to deal with any security problems.
